What Westbrook-Walnut Grove Secondary does

Westbrook-Walnut Grove School District (District 2898) is a public school district operating in Southwest Minnesota, approximately 160 miles southwest of the Twin Cities. It serves the communities of Revere, Walnut Grove, Westbrook, and Dovray through two physical campuses: WWG Elementary School at 601 Washington St, Walnut Grove (Preschool through Grade 6) and WWG High School at 344 8th St, Westbrook (Grades 7 through 12). The district is governed by a seven-member elected school board and administered by Superintendent Loy Woelber, High School Principal Sam Woitalewicz, and Elementary Principal Derrick Jenniges.

The district delivers comprehensive Preschool through 12th-grade education, including core academic instruction, an extensive elective program, athletics under Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) Red Rock Conference membership, comprehensive school counseling (including a student 'Calming Room' wellness resource), food service with free/reduced lunch programs, college and career planning, and summer activities. Administrative operations run on JMC (student information system, parent portal, lunch tracking), Jotform for online registration, and Google Workspace, with instructional delivery supported by a stack of third-party ed-tech platforms including Renaissance Place (Accelerated Reader), Nearpod, Prodigy, MobyMax, Fastbridge, CAPTI, OzoBlockly, and TestNav for Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA).

The district is funded as a government entity through Minnesota Department of Education state aid, local property tax levies, and federal funding; tuition is not charged for K-12 education. It is a member of the Southwest West Central Service Cooperative (SWWC) and the Cottonwood and Redwood County Collaboratives for shared services, and participates in Help Me Grow Minnesota and Tri-County Day Treatment for student support services. Marketing and community engagement are conducted through the district website (powered by Finalsite), Facebook, YouTube, and HudlTV for athletics. The firmographic headcount of 10 appears to be inaccurate relative to the 108 staff constituents listed in the district staff directory.
